Been weeks on the road
Dirt road to Hamlinshire
Trudging in the dust
Skin turned to rust
We fear of going bust
We pace the donkey
We'll get there God willing
On naught but three shillings
Scuffing on the road
Shouldering the load
Past the fields all plowed
We pace the donkey
Stubbornness
Is a virtue
With which we all dispense
We pace the donkey
We pay the rent
